 This was recently gifted to me. It's pretty old and there's no way I'd use or depend on it much less load it.
Here's a couple of pictures. There is no serial number or stamping/engraving to help id it. Now you know what I currently know.
As is shown, it has a folding trigger. Took it to my local gun store, they couldn't id it. I thought it might take a 45 long rifle shell but, no joy on that.
The cylinder is 2 inches in length, the barrel is shorter. This thing would probably kick like a mule.

Actually, in this case, it's just something to throw at an intruder. But, thank you from the bottom of my heart.
As they say in the south, Bless your Pea Picking heart.

I suppose anything is possible although, I've never seen a starter pistol like this.
Another gun store said it was pre 1910, I have no idea how they came up with that.

I believe, either a German Scheintod tear gas gun or a knockoff of one.
12mm round.
The only markings would be on the rear of the cylinder face or under the grips.
Early 1900s thru WW1..[This message has been edited by maryjane (edited 01-12-2022).]

Well, I've been advised it's pre 1910 and maybe Belgium by origin so, you may be correct. I'll keep you posted on anything I learn.
For me, this is a conversation piece/paper weight. There's no way I'd ever try test firing it.
